23rd Sunday In Ordinary Time September 10, 2017 FROM THE DESK OF FR. FALLON EVERYBODY IS LONELY AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT. A friend blurted this out to me a couple of weeks ago and it caught me off guard. It s true! Look I think we re all pretty busy and know how to fill our schedules, but are we really finding time for true, genuine companionship and fraternity? Or how about this: there are countless articles about Millennials and igen youth who are addicted to technology, but is it fair to say that all of us find comfort in front of our screens, and that it s become more difficult nowadays to form community? Everybody is lonely and Nobody is talking about it. Let s talk about it! In the early Church, communities would gather for an AGAPE (uh-gahp-ay) meal, or a time of love and fellowship, one big pot luck. Then they d celebrate the meal of Thanksgiving, EUCHARIST, in the way Jesus taught them to do. What s keeping us from doing this? Think about it. In today s Gospel, Jesus says wherever two or three are gathered, there He is in their midst. And there, with Jesus, whether we re alone or not, we can bring that loneliness to Him and learn to relate those feelings to Him for comfort and compassion. CHALLENGE: Introduce yourself to someone you haven t met before you leave Church today. ***We also welcome the Little Sisters of the Poor this weekend!! Sisters, we re so grateful for your ministry! Peace, FF
